THE ROYAL TOUR.
TWO EXTREME VIEWS.

Queen Kapiolanis visit to Boston
has been notable for the practical ex-
hibition it afforded to our citizens oil
the success Of the nineteenth century
idea Of civlizing instead of Shaving bar
baridns. II has an object lesson of
real value. In her own
person she represented the great pro-
gress the Sandwich Islands have made
within a comparatively few years ia the
life Of people. Her visit here was
one of satisfaction to many who are
deeply interested in the work of com
pletely civilizing and Outstanding not
only the Sandwich Islands, but all wild
and darkened people. -Bssfon 7yan-

If the Transcript be not hypocritical
in this, how little it knows about the
result Of ciyilizlng instead Of Staying
''barbariansT Of the progress made by
the Sandwich Islands; Of the lesson
the history Of the unfortunate islanders
conveys to those who know it. Before
civilization came upon them, the
islanders were an innocent, happy,
healthy people. Now they are disap-
pearing from the earth as a result of
the wees and diseases civilization be-
slowed upon them. They are degrad-
ed, miserable, diseased and vanishing.
1t would have been mercy to Stay them
a hundred years ago rather than
''ciyilize" them. The Chinese are des-
tined to be the future people Of the
Hawaiian Islands, under, most likely,
an American government There will
not be a Hawaiian alive in fifty years.
The Hawaiian will have been civilized
off the face Of the earth. l. San Fran

A PLAY OF IMAGINATION.
Queen Kapiolani, may her royal
stomach never grow less, declares that
Of all lives in the world she would
prefer that of the fireman. Now, it
may be ungallant to call attention to
Her Majestys obesity, for, like all
Polynesians, she ovenuns to intestine
at this period Of her life, but how the
deuce would the Queen look perched
on the topmost round of the LADDER
ALFRED a Ia Mary Walker, with TRIM
pet in one hand and hose nozzle in
the other, the anointed Queen Of the
Sandwich Islands would present a
picture which would make the bones OF
the lamented Captain Cook, for whose
flesh and marrow the Hawaiians dis
played fatal partially, rattle in their
seawashed island graye.-.Saa Fran
